2:40 When tube is getting fixed
whatever is on my shirt is not sweat the shirt is in the trash now
Nick Mcdonald who cares bro, you make good content keep it up
Nick Mcdonald hey can I use Krazy glue ?
Nick Mcdonald cool story bro! 👍🏼
Dude I actually want to try this when I pop my tire! This looks so simple, love it dude🤘
Nick Mcdonald Will this method work on a valve stem?
It’s 6 year later and you’re still helping people. you sure helped me today, thanks 👍🏼
I used your super glue and paper method to fix a puncture on my road bike 3 days ago. It's still holding 100 psi. I'm amazed. :)
XDM50 yeah I run 80 in my BMX bike and it holds just fine
For real? How long did it last? I’d like to try it on my road bike that just got a puncture. But i don’t know if i can use it on long rides.
@@leftyseel8658
Only one way to find out - try.
( But bring a spare tube with you, in case of).
@@BarnacleBoyFishing it didn't stick for me lol not even for a week
Yep it works, used this method for the front tire 1 month ago, perfect seal. The back tire had a flat a few days ago, did same thing, still holding. I botched the first try of sealing the back tire, I used too much glue, it did not hold. It only takes one small drop right on the pinhole leak to do the trick, then apply a small patch of paper and light pressure. I Leave the paper on.
There's no bike shops open cause of the quarantine, so this literally saved me a 10 mile walk (with bike + groceries). Big thanks!
No problem!
@@BarnacleBoyFishing Any idea on how long will it last? almost 5 hs, so far so good. I'll be more than amazed if i holds till tomorrow.
Update: 2 years, several paper patches, no leaks.
@@trajtembergthanks dude
I did this to an old bike I was ready to donate to goodwill and let someone else repair it. I rode it close to home occasionally and at 185lbs that I am and two months later, the tube still has 60psi. A step further I had to take a look see. I pulled out roughly twelve inches of deflated tube and saw that the glue actually formed a seal on the two holes. No cracking, just a smooth as glass bead of dry glue over the hole. I did use the Gorilla glue and allowed it to dry for about 10 minutes before inflating. I did donate it after the two months. Thanks for that tip.
Fix ur writing I don't understand
Now that it is impossible to find inner tubes and patch kits anywhere in the Chicago area ( due to the shut down everyone has been biking and hitting up the local bike and sporting goods store for supplies) your home made patch method is a great idea for all of us with flats!
This is amazing, actually works! On holiday without a repair kit and this meant my 3 yr old boy could keep riding his bike. Thanks so much
I’m playing mechanic for my kids bikes today.. not something I’m very good at. But it’s try to fix it or no one rides bike this summer. I was adding tubes to my Walmart order and decided to try to patch myself.. about to give this a go! Thanks so much!
yea I knew there was some way to fix with super glue Im not buying another fucking tube TY
Nathan Sifuentez you are welcome I knew people could use it so I was like why not
I was thinking a repair kit basically just has some kind of glue and something to stick on top but a piece of paper is the last I thing would've thot of anyway I'ma give it a try
I have used cardboard pretty much anything I can find laying around
@@BarnacleBoyFishingBro i used a plaster and a tiny bit of glue before and it stayed pumped up untill i got another puncher in a diffrent place 😂😂
Honestly I didn't trust this method because superglue dries as a hard crystal and it would crack at the first spin, but I ran out of rubber glue and I had to try.
The result: It works!! It's been 3 days and there's not any leakage. I think I will not buy any fixing-kit again! this method is cheaper, easier and faster.
One advice: try to sand the surface before applying the glue, it will improve the adherence.
Thanks a lot dude!
Can I use clear gorilla glue?
@@gosulanre6669 did you try the gorilla glue ? Did it work ?
OMG I DID THIS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED, thank you so much my dude
I've just repaired my Brompton using the superglue and paper method and it works like a charm. This should be the industry standard for bike tube repair. We'll done for the life hack find 👏👏👏
Use fine sandpaper (100 grit) around the hole making sure the rubber dust gets into the hole. Next put tiny amount of Super Glue on the hole with the rubber powder in it. Biggers hole can be repaired the same way except put a 1" disc of old inner tube over the hole that has been covered with a light coat of Super Glue. Also if you are careful you can repair cuts up to a half inch with super glue.
Great video and alternate tube repair idea Nick!
Super Glue alone will fix most leaks if they aren't too big. You just need to get it down into the hole so it can glue the rubber back together. Instead of paper you could also use a piece of an old tube or even a thick balloon to provide extra support to the patched area.
Just did this 3 days ago, absolute brilliant, tire still holding air, found thorn and pulled that out. Could not run to bike store so used Krazy super glue, pumped to 50 PSI, all good!!
this man deserves an award seriously thank you
Good thing for TH-cam man. I was getting so frustrated trying to put a regular patch on it including slime. Yet it wouldn't hold air. But I searched on here and found your video. And it works really good man. Thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Thanks Nick! I've been riding bikes for 46 years and I never knew this was an option! Amazing! I subbed.

Literally didn’t believe this in the beginning luckily I had super glue so I tried it and I’m honestly so amazed works perfect thank you got your self a new sub and a like 👍🏼

Awesome, My wife bumped into pavement with low tire pressure. Tube and tire both got 1/4 inch cut. Bought DAP($5.00) super glue from Menard. Applied DAP on Tire slit got cured perfectly outside and inside both. Put electric tape inside the tire to cover up uneven glue spot after an hour. Applied DAP on tube , then pressed piece of old tube on it. after an hour put all back on the rim. My wife biked 11 miles still air on it 100%. Great idea. Thanks DUDE. 👍👌🚲
Thanks, it helps. While I don't have many holes. Good story comes!
Once I did a 10 000 km or 6K miles journey, without a kit.
After half way, I got one, in the middle of nowhere. It was fixed in half an hour, in a garage by nice Spanish people. Galvanized!
After I was riding in remote areas. Nothing for 10 miles or more. I have grown nervous. Finally, I bought a kit with 12 patches. I bought some food and gas for the camping stuff. After 10 minutes I found a perfect picnic place. I left the bike in the paved parking and had dinner a few meters away.
As I started my journey, I had a flat tire. The rear, of course. I fixed, and I had once again, noticed before take off. I checked in the creek. I had ..... 12 HOLES .... around the tube, evenly distributed !
Still today, I have no idea, how this is possible.
Luckily, I had a spare tube with one hole. I fixed that one, and I had no issues again, for thousands of miles! Tell me if pilgrimage is not spiritual.
Thank you I had 3 holes in my tube used your method and my bike has been good for a week now
3 miles to work and 3 miles home
Thank you for the awesome "how to"🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks Nick, never too old to learn from a young guy.
No problem !
Didnt work
@@stepheng6514 elaborate G
this young man is a genius. it worked. thanks
Thanks bro my bike has been pumped for two years and I was like sick of it so I wanted to know how to patch my bike tube and boom you pulled up and then you help me and it hasn’t pop sense I love you so much and I’m gonna follow you
thanks you saved me 3 dollars
in my country that is almost 600.000Bsf dude
Plus half an hour of traveling to the bike store
Nice Dixie flag, douchebag.
I try to fix my
Saved me 2,382 pesos
Seems plausible in theory and my only concern would be the pretty good likelihood that water that gets into the tire will disintegrate the pulp fibers of the paper. Also I have learned to use a very soft rag to detect any sharp protrusions inside the tire as it is much easier on the fingers. Thanks for illustrating the importance of a correctly aligned air stem (especially in aggressive moto-cross riding because that reduces the chance of cutting the valve base with the edge of the rim hole during a jump, etc. The flag is a concern to some folks and I get that so if it detracts from your message it might be something that could be covered so as not to distract viewers.
Might also suggest putting a piece of cardboard over the pool table to keep the felt cuts to a minimum. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
Very clever. Thanks for sharing. Should be useful while touring.
You are a genius and we need more people like that. Thanks man I’ll put that on my top list 😊👌🏾
The only thing I changed with this is take one old tube, and cut it up for lots of patches instead of the paper. Works well.
Same
Haha I do the same
The paper is not used as a patch. No patch material is required in this method. The paper is only to use during the sealing of the glue and to not get it on your fingers. This method needs no patching material as long as it's a pin hole size or close.
Thank you to every single one of you in this thread as well! Sliced off a tiny piece of an old tube, patched it to the puncture together with crazy glue, and I’m rolling again!
Dose it last long
Hey Nick...its been 15 min as I text this to you and so far tire still solid at 90 psi...I walked 5 miles to bike shop to fix my flat and I guess the employee didn't like his job because he failed as a professional bike mechanic to check the inner tire for sharp debris...I made it unaware back home to notice a flat again...thanks to you I checked and found the wire needle that punctured my new tube. Well 30 min now and still holding up...amazing! Thanks so much. Your trick is golden!
Angel Martinez I'm glad I could help 👍👍
Should have ridden back and complained to the store
Just did this on my 2.50-10 Honda Spree Tire that holds 33psi and it seems fine for now. Coming from my tire shop experience... use that couple days to get a new tube, last thing you want is a flat tire on a highway or bush road
Thank u for your method I have already saved so much money because of u and whoever thinks it don't work they haven't tried it and like he said only on small holes on tubes
THANKYOU NICK,AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GRANDMA!
Jesus saves
Worked on my mountain bike. Patched it and inflated yesterday, rode 40km today, tire is solid. Great tip, dude!
Dude you're a fuckin genius. I have an electric scooter that I ride almost every day. I looked everywhere for a new inner tube but the only place I could find it is online and it's expensive. But for less than a buck it's working perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you. If you were in my town I'd buy you a beer.
Wow i actually save tubes that have smallish holes that i plan to patch later and just for kicks i tried this method and i now have 2 patched tubes not losing air anymore! The only reason i stopped patching more is i ran out of super glue lol! Thank your Sir and my small pile of punctured tubes would see a 2nd life soon! Cheers ^^
I had a small hole like that too, and this video helped a lot, and it is cheaper and easier hell yea thanks man
No problem 🤘🤘
wow this was awesome! I bought some cheap clueless patches and they sucked. I didn't wanna go to the store again and spend more money. so I looked up ways and found your video. tried it and it work and holds. thanks man!
you patched with tire inflated? Think Hi Strength 3m contact adhesive will work too?
Thanks bud! This got me out of a pinch and saved me some $$$. To find the leak, I just inflated the tire and sprayed it down with soapy water and sure enough it began bubbling up right where the very tiny leak was. Turned out to be a very small sliver of glass. I did this before pulling out the tube to see if the tube actually split open or if it's a legit puncture. Doing it this way, I was able to locate the puncture on both the tire and the tube at the same time, remove the glass and then just pull out that portion of tube and do your patch and pop it back in. Hopefully this helps someone in addition to your excellent patch hack!
10 minutes to say: Superglue bit of paper over hole.
init
Just did this but with a piece of an old tube instead of paper and worked very well! One thing to note about using tube though, don't make the piece to big and don't use tons of glue because it will cause that part of the tube to not be able to expand. I did this on my first one and it made my tire wobble a bit because of the unevenness of that one part of the tube.
This is the Pro Tip. As you can see in this Confederate Loser (they lost the war) video, he barely puts any Super Glue on. Best bet to use as little glue as possible.
I'm gonna do this but with my tyre ill use my old tube it looks like a cut but it could be worn it's only 2 yrs... 💀 I'll cover it with the tube on both sides.
Oh I accidentally did that……
finally succeed after a few tries!! bond paper dont stick well to the tube. So i used a thin cardboard, tear off some layer to make sure it is thin enough to be flexible, then a little sanding with 2000grit sandpaper. proceeded with the instructions and now my road bike tire is holding well
Yeah he's displaying the Confederate flag in the background, but I honestly tried his technique and I have to tell everyone that this procedure is undeniably amazing! I will never buy another patch kit in my life again. The tire is holding at 95 PSI and so far I've written it past 35 miles over potholes, uphill Etc. The only difference is that I used strips of shipping tape instead of paper. I simply don't believe it. This guy knows exactly what he's talking about. Sincere thanks Nick.☺😇🖒
Thanks, Nick, for sharing this. My son's scooter has 6" tires with inner tubes, one of which had a hole in it. I tried three times to patch the hole using my regular bicycle patch kit, but each time the repair failed (probably because the scooter tires require such high pressure, 85 PSI). Luckily, I came across your video and I just tried your method, and it's holding fine at full pressure. I never would've thought of trying super-glue.
This guys a stinkin genius I can’t believe this worked how crazy
I needed to patch a tube and had nothing but super glue. I was skeptical that this would work. I also don't check the Inside of my tire. Well come to find outbI had two small leaks and a very small sliver of metal In my tire. Went through your whole process. And It worked fantastically.
Thank you for this video
I could manage to fix my son’s bike, thank you for the video it was very helpful 🙏🏻👍🏻
You could determine where the punctured area by dipping it in water.
The bubbles will tell you
also I like to share a tip for anyone who doesn't have super glue here's how to make homemade super glue, if you have lawnmower laying in your garage or anything uses gasoline once you get ahold of gasoline find any
( styrofoam cup , plate anything that's made out of styrofoam mix both gasoline and styrofoam together styrofoam will dissolve into gasoline keep on adding more and more styrofoam untill you see that's mix has gotten to same texture as Super glue not to liquidy or too thick . Go search homemade super glue here TH-cam give you guys see how too . This great video who knew paper get someone out of a bicycle jam . I subscribed to this channel easy like thumbs up
thank you I will look into that homemade super glue !
It worked on patching my dirt bike tube so fare thanks man
Just FYI: Superglue is NOT recommended for patching inner tubes because it eats/degrades rubber and certain plastics. I tried this out of curiosity and it only lasted one day, granted your mileage may vary but if you use super glue eventually it will fail. Ideally you should just buy a new tube but if you must patch it for an instant fix then use either rubber cement or a plastic/rubber safe quick setting epoxy.
Ok safety bob, lol
back in my day we just used the packaging for the superglue. good enough to get you home.
Great patching work bro keep up the great work
Dude you just saved our family’s Sunday bike ride.
An alternative to paper: superglue + electrical tape. I keep a roll of tape in my saddlebag; the bonus is that if you have a tire blowout, wrapping it in electrical tape can buy you enough miles to get back home or to your car.
Second this, I ended up here as that's my normal method but I've rang outta electrical tape so was looking for other options. Bout to go ahead and give it a bash
Can you do this with duct tape?
@@samhain7548 Probably, but I haven’t tried it. Electrical tape is fairly puncture-proof. I’ve started lining the inside of my tires with 2 layers of electrical tape (between the tire and the tube). Haven’t had a single flat tire on the last 2 sets of tires (5200 total miles so far).
getting better and better with vlogs
thank you sir for keeping this video up your a gentleman and a scholar
your a genius man when i ride my motorized bike like 30 40 miles out and get a flat it sucks one day this could save me man!
Cool,thanks my man.good job,gonna give it a shot right now
I didn’t believe this but when I tried it it worked perfect on my bmx!!
It works.Thank you so much.
I love your video so much I hope you don’t stop making video about bike because I need to learn from you how to fix my bike
Great Video man Thank You!
Jean C Louivil you are welcome!
Dude this helped me big time. I did this diy patch this morning and tasted it out a couple rides and it's still holding. That is one really Good idea and smart as hell! A money saver for sure!
@Aghilas I was just going to my old comment to give an update. And dude it's been a good month n a half and still using that super glue n paper. I'm just mind boggled that it still holds. Now it's held from jumping off curbs, riding wheelies n slamming the tire back down. This young man has saved me money and other people so he's awesome as shit in My book!!!!
Your truly amazing. Have an awesome attitude and personality ❤ patched mine and has held for months. 🚲👍🏻
Fantastic! Nice job, thank you.
Great video... Thanks
this is the greatest hack I've ever done👍👍:-) :-)
Nick what camera are you using? I like the quality.
I'm late sorry si many hate comments I dont check much but it's a Panasonic g7
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
I work In a bike shop that's a smart idea for quick easy patch. When your on the road if you don't have a new tube to use then this is a good back up. I tried it works very well . I like the confederate flag cool
Nick good vid, yea i had that crooked valve once and used a smidge of washing up liquid on the valve stem, then wiggle it a bit and it usually comes straight again. have a good day now, Pete (uk)
Hey man if you see this nice haro I'm fixing the bearings on my back hub right now on my haro and I have the same problem my tube popped and it super small hole and this is gonna help alot man thanks
Thx for your video..it's amazing & cheap solution.
Thank you very much. That was very helpful.
Bro i did this last night on my kids bike and had to do it on mine went downtown and its still holding thx bro big help i subbed
Ricky Spanish you are welcome
He has a big hole in the wall he's trying to patch too?
Nice review.
Do you think Saran Wrap and super glue would work instead of paper.?
Bro this worked so good I’m liking and subscribed
i try this i put a piece of paper on my wife mouth and stop talking laudly 😂😂😂😂
Alvin Villareal so funny good English 12/10
Edmondnazaryan@hotma
😂
No no no no no

I used duck tape and it was a big ass hole and it worked better
Jayden Lennartz thanks for the tip
Duck Tape + glue or just straight duck tape?
@@cinnamonfitness2492 I done this method and also covered it in duck tape just in case
Guys this is not fake it worked thank you😁 I was so surprised that it worked
UNTIL TODAY THIS TRICK WORKS. LOVE !

Dude thanks. Im broke as fuck right now this is the ghetto magic i was looking for
Kyle Hendrickson lmao thanks man ! It's cool to help out
Kyle H buy a roll of electrical tape for a lifetime supply of patches
It WORKS!! Thanks dude
Thank you for a fast fix.
Bro i can’t watch this his people fought for slavery😩😩😩
Wrong video for me
I clicked the video, saw the flag, and peaced out lmao
You can't be hatin' bro, don't be sad, I doubt that kid wants slavery back, he just wants to help you fix your tube lmao
Blas C that’s possible but I’m not gonna watch a video, no matter how informative, if the dude has a flippin swastika flag either 😂 I’ll find the same info from someone who doesn’t have racist memorabilia hanging in their house 😅
Blas C who said I was hating i jus said I can’t watch it due to the history of the flag I don’t agree with what his ancestors fought for not all whites but particularly the ones in the south it’s true history we all learned in school I’m not hating and didn’t say he wanted to I just said I’m not supporting the video
I did this and got glue on my lip
WHAT
Christopher Niemczyk Abebrese 😂😂 it’s easy to do!
dude nice
Finally I fixed it Thanks guy 👍
nice man thanks its really work
Now show us how superglue and paper would work on that flag behind you.
Instead of paper I would use piece of another tube. That however requires another tube, which should not be the problem if you're a bike guy. I was so pissed today on my comute to work, always have spare tube or something to fix a flat in my backpack, but not today. Why? I have no idea. Had to push the bike all the way to work, I missed one hour, I was pissed and tired, fuck me.
I know the feeling yesterday had to walk 2 hours home. I vowed not to let that happen again.:)
I do the same, ran out of patches and cut up an old tube, worked like a charm but want to try out this paper patch for the craic.
Great vid, thanks..
I have to admit...I didn't think it would work! But it did.. unbelievable! Your terrific coming up with this tip.. anymore tips? Thanks.
Sometimes just need a simple fix... I did this for my wheelbarrow tires and it worked perfect. Good post, thanks for sharing
I am surprised that the unflexible superglue holds on the flexible and bending rubber.
Awesome, thanks man!
Really helpful! DIY at its best!
